Phys.org / Bipolar planetary nebula reveals rare open cluster association
By analyzing the data from the SuperCOSMOS Hα Survey (SHS) and from the Gaia satellite, astronomers have inspected a bipolar planetary nebula designated PHR J1724-3859. Results of the study, published Nov. 19 on the arXiv ...
Medical Xpress / Brain enzyme that drives nicotine addiction and smoking dependence identified
Nicotine addiction remains one of the most persistent public health challenges worldwide, driven by changes in the brain that reinforce repeated use and make quitting extremely difficult. For decades, scientists have focused ...
Phys.org / Space debris poses growing threat, but new study suggests cleanup is feasible
High up in Earth's orbit, millions of human-made objects large and small are flying at speeds of over 15,000 miles per hour. The objects, which range from inactive satellites to fragments of equipment resulting from explosions ...
Phys.org / Nanotyrannus was not a juvenile T. rex, new study confirms
For decades, paleontologists argued over the lone skull used to establish the distinct species Nanotyrannus. Was it truly a separate species or simply a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex? A new paper published in Science has definitively ...
Phys.org / Single-photon teleportation achieved between distant quantum dots for the first time
An international research team involving Paderborn University has achieved a crucial breakthrough on the road to a quantum internet. For the first time ever, the polarization state of a single photon emitted from a quantum ...

Make way for digital health. Smart watches and health apps aren't just for fitness enthusiasts and people with access to advanced care—the World Health Organization (WHO) is looking to these and other digital tech devices ...
Tech Xplore / Aluminum nitride transistor advances next-gen RF electronics
Cornell researchers have developed a new transistor architecture that could reshape how high-power wireless electronics are engineered, while also addressing supply chain vulnerabilities for a critical semiconductor material.
Tech Xplore / Georgia Power says it needs a huge increase in power capacity to meet data center demand
With data centers flooding into Georgia, utility regulators face a big decision: Should they let Georgia Power Co. spend more than $15 billion to increase its electricity capacity by 50% over the next six years to serve computer ...
Medical Xpress / Modified herpes virus helps destroy glioblastoma in preclinical models
Researchers at Mass General Brigham have modified a herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) that stimulates the immune system to attack glioblastoma cells. A single dose of the modified virus increased T-cell, natural killer cell, and ...
Medical Xpress / New approach makes common breast cancer type responsive to immunotherapy
A study led by researchers at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute advances one of the most significant milestones in breast cancer treatment, making immunotherapy effective against the most common tumor type, estrogen ...
Phys.org / How volcanic eruptions set off a chain of events that brought the Black Death to Europe
Clues contained in tree rings have identified mid-14th-century volcanic activity as the first domino to fall in a sequence that led to the devastation of the Black Death in Europe.
Phys.org / Seeding jet exhaust with ice-nucleating particles could reduce aviation's climate impact
If you look up at the sky on a clear day, chances are you'll notice thin, white clouds—also known as contrails—following behind airplanes.
